Will to Die (1971)
2/10
Amazingly dull for such a film.
30 July 2013
While the IMDb summary says it's one night, this film is about a crazy old guy's will that stipulates his heirs must all spend one WEEK living in his mansion before they can collect. When this audio will is played, it's obvious that he hates his heirs AND that he's hoping they all try to kill each other off during this week! While the idea is hardly original, it is an interesting idea for a horror film. What also is original is having the first victim not be one of these jerks but the Sheriff--though seeing the blade of the axe coming down so ridiculously slowly onto him was pretty funny. What follows is a surprisingly talky and rather boring film--something you just wouldn't expect with the plot set up and given the undertones of incest and sado-masochism. Even a bad film is often exciting or fun--though unintentionally so. What makes it worse is that often the acting is pretty horrid--with LOTS of overacting and few moments that seemed the least bit realistic.

While the film approaches begin so bad it's good to watch, it just barely even makes this mark and is just bad.
